Talmage said the audience were glad to
welcome the canon, not because he was a son
of Bishop Wilberforce, not because he was a
grandson of William Wilberforce, the great
English emancipator, but because he was
as coed and as strong as either. AT the
reverend doctors appearance, the people
rose in their seats and waved their handker-

INTERVIEW WITH SECRETARY OF WAR
 STANTON AND PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
 When VIC reached Washington @ day was fixed for an interview with Secretary Stanton. Ohio State Agent Wetmore and Maj. Gen. Hitchcock accompanied us. Gems. Sigel and Stahl, with many other distin- guished persons, were ill the ante-room waiting, but as we were there by appoint ment, they continued to wait, while we were at once admitted. Stanton had long resided in my county town of Steuben- ville and had seen him, and knew him we'll by reputation, though could then claim no personal acquaintance. We were seated, after he had shaken each of us warmly by the hand and utte,ed words of greeting and compliment. We talked for considerable time, not so much on the subject of our expedition for took it for granted that, lawyer like, he had looked over the evidence in the case and made up his mind about it-as upon general topics, such as our impress sions of the south and the Union men in it, and of our hope and feeling about the war. was especially struck by his ask ing us how we had liked Gen. Mitchell as a commander; and when we spoke of him with unstintcd enthusiasm he seemed greatly pleased, and said: 'eThat's the way all his men talk about him. , He told us that he had been aware of our ex- petition at the time, but had no accurate information of the fate of the party. His impression was that all had perished at first. On the escape of the eight ill Octo- Der he had made official inquiries of the Confederate government about us, but

Offer to a Yale Professor.

A few days previous to the Thanksgiving game young man who wore glasses, and bore the appearance of being a Yale student, entered local ready made clothing store and asked for suit of 0 fair material and price. He was quickly fitted. Then came the fun.
 s'Shall I send the bill to your father?' in- quired the salesman. ''Let me see, you 1.-Two in Buffalo, don't yous I'll fix it-say $40 or $50. I can give you the balance in three or four days anyway; or, if you are hard up, I'll advance it now"
 The figures named were double what the suit cost, and the customer, who is one of Yale's youngest professors, asked the clothier what he meant.
 Tho clothier explained; "Oh," he said, "I do great deal of that sort of thing now for the boys, and am willing to accommodate you if you want it."
 The professor thanked him, smiled and said he thought he'd pay. The merchant was, at last accounts, unaware that his customer was professor, and not a student. The professor thought the story too good to keep and told it to some of his friends. Its cruel publica- tion may end clever scheme to deplete the parental pocketbook.-N Haven News

Are Stones Alive?

We generally think of minerals as dead Jumps of inactive matter. But they may be said to be alive, creatures of vital pulsations, and separated into individuals as distinct as the pines in forest or the tigers in the jungle. The dispositions of crystals are as diverse as those of animals. They throb with unseen currents of energy. They grow in size as long as they have opportunity. They can be killed, too, though not as easily as an oak or a dog. A strong electric shock discharged through crystal will decompose it very rapidly if it is of soft structure, causing the particles to gradually disintegrate in the re- verse order from its growth, until the poor thing lies in dead, shapeless ruin. It is true the crystals life is unlike that of higher creatures. But the difference between vege- table and animal life is no greater than that between mineral and vegetable life. Linn@us; the great Swedish naturalist, defined the siree kingdoms by saying: ''Stones grow; plants grow and feel; animals grow and feel and move. ."-Wide Awake.

Inner Circles of Swelldom.

A census of "good society" has just been made in this city, and it is found that of the population of nearly two millions ns-counting in the metropolis and its suburbs-only 700 are qualified to rank with the best. In a re- public where the notion is outrageousiy ge- neral that behavior is the true test to worthi- ness, it requires an authoritative edict once in a while to squelch the leveling tendency. The Patriarchs have done the job this time. They are an organization of intensely swell gentlemen who give annual balls at Delmo- nico's, and they put what they regard as their minds to the drawing of the line distinctly between 'society" and common people. The Patriarchs' next ball is to occur this month. Ward McAllister an old beau of unquestioned standing, is the high mogul. Every autumn he maks out a careful list of ninety nine other real gentlemen, making 100 in all They con- stitute the Patriarchs.
 They are assessed $50 apiece for a fund with which to pay the balls costs of music and supper. Upon them is placed the awful responsibility of issuing invitations, for the documents are substantially credentials of the highest possible character, proving that the holder is ''in society,"" Each one in the 100 names seven persons. The number is based on a careful and critical estimate that there are no more than 700 men and women III all NeW ! Ofk qulue worthy or the glorious distinction. The separate lists of seven are sent to McAllister, who calls secret meet ing of the entire 100, to whom the names are read, and single vote against candidate is sufficient for exclusion, all of which is funny to the reader, but very momentous to the small coterie of persons concerned. When Mrs. William Astor gave a notable ball two years ago she extended her invitations to 500 and was by her friends considered liberal, considering how sacred are the precincts of society" Thus you will see that so far as New York is concerned there may be all ''upper 10000" but towering altitudinously above them are less than l ,OO0 positive super latives-New York Cor Pittsburg Dispatch.

PICTURE OF JAMES W. RILEY.
The Indiana Poet Talks About His Al
 and His Method of Work.

 The Indians Poet Talks About His Art
 and His Method of Work.
 James Whitcomb Riley, the western poet and h1morist, took the intellectual audience by storm the other afternoon at Chickering hall when he recited his quaint lines entitled, ''When the Frost Is on the Punlzin." Even James Russell Lowell could not repress a smile, and Runner, Eggleston, Cable and Richard Henry Stoddard laughed aloud. Those who have read MT. Riley's poetry would almost instantly recognize the poet, if it were possible for ideas to picture in the minds eye their creator. Riley is quaint and almost homely, until he speaks. Then the veil is lifted and nairth and humor illumine his features. He has large, strong, smooth shaven, mobile face. It is a humorous face that retreats fore and aft; in other words, it curves from forehead to chin. His large Ro- man nose plays 8 strong part in the ensemble of features. Large blue eyes, rather sunken, give beaming expression to thin, radiating wrinkles. When he smiles these lines fairly glow. His hair is so thin and close cropped that it is not easy to distinguish its color. It looks pale sandy. He is snugly built, of medium height, and has great suppleness in the shoulders.
 MT. Riley is @ ready composer. Maj. Pond asked him for an autog1 aph, when he sat down and immediately wrote these lines: It hain't no use to grumble and complain,
 It's jes' as cheap and easy to rejoice;
 When God sorts out the weather and sends rain,
 Wy, rains my choice.
 After he signed his name, large bold handwriting, some other person desired his autograph, and this is the verse he immedi- ately wrote:
 We say and we say and we say,
 We promise, engage and declare
 Till a year fl om to o-morrow is yesterday
 And yesterday is - where?
 A reporter asked him how he worked and how he went about selecting something suit able for his particular style He replied: sI have no trouble whatever to find something to write about I cannot throw a stone but that hit subject They are everywhere about, wherever l go, and take them as I find them. l have no special system to work by. l always write as feel, and that per- haps is the only system have. It is useless to force anything; it must come forth with natural feelings ana then it will strike the right chord. A writer cannot tell every time how he selects theme to write about. at least cannot. Nature is spread out be- fore us, and somehow stumble over things that awaken within me the instinct and feel ing to write. That is finding subject.n
 ''In writing your dialectic poetry do you put it in good English and then translate it, so to speaks"
 "No, do not. I imagine that the old farmer is talking, and for the time am the old farmer, writing down the thoughts that come to me in @ homely, easy way. The spelling and all, as the old farmer would do it, so do I, and I find it satisfactory as to re suits. ."-New York Mail and Express.

INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT LINCOLN. "A
 LITTLE LUCK WITH THE BATTLES NOW" to another of us, as he addressed each ono with great courtesy. I specially rcmcm- Der part of one remark and his position while making it. Something had been said about political matters, and our joy that the Union party was now gaining in the country after the great defeats of the fall before. "Yes,' Lincoln said, as he stood in stopping position by the fire- place with his elbow resting on the end of the mantlepiece, eff we could only have a little luck with the battles now, all would soon be right and the war be over.'' The quaint phrase, Ia little luck with the bat tles,' made an indelible impression on my memory, for we had been having very ill luck in that direction for some time. We did not wish to be tiresome, and ourselves made the first motion to leave; the presi- dent took the hand of each in both his own, saying again how thankful he was that we had been spared, and that he hoped we would find all our relatives liv- ing and we'll when we reached home.
